On June 6, 2026, Virginia Rainbow hosted the State Scholarship Games at Manasseh Lodge, home of Manassas Assembly #13. Some of the games that were there included archery, cup stacking, bag races, and more. My team was called “Hamfolk Hooligans” and included Becca and Alaina from Norfolk Assembly and Gabi from Hampton Assembly. We won first place! Safe to say “Hamfolk Hooligans” made their mark! There were 5 clans that participated in the games. The hot weather did not stop everyone from having a great time!

I’m so happy I got to see all of my Rainbow sisters today. Mom Bobbie drove all of Hamfolk to and from the event. She kept saying honk honk instead of using the horn, which made us all giggle. I love riding with Mom Bobbie and my Rainbow sisters. I always have a blast at Rainbow events and can’t wait for the next one.

After eating dinner at Fosters Grill everyone went to Vertical Rock. Everyone that went had a lot of fun. I was able to make it up a lot of walls. But I was really struggling with one in particular. It was this red one and I could not get up that one. I tried so many times. Then when I finally gave up Sam just climbed right up to the top and had no problem. We are very competitive, so she rubbed it in my face for the rest of the night.

Vanessa climbed up the wall with no rope. She was clipping the rope to the wall as she went. Which was pretty cool but also kind of scary. I wouldn’t be able to do it.  Well she thought it would be a great idea to give us all a heart attack and “fall” off the wall. If you blinked you would have missed the fall. It was crazy!

Before we went to Vertical Rock a bunch of Rainbow families went to Fosters for dinner. Samantha and I went on a “date” as our families and friends would say. The food was really good!   When Sam, Austin, Preston, and I were done eating we went on a walk-through Old Town. Well more like Austin and Preston carried Sam and I while they were walking. But we all had fun!
